Falling closer (when I'm gone)

I never really knew where you found the strength
To pull me up with you when I tripped on my life
But you were always there like flicker in the dark
In my empty world that I still try to understand

Darkness never bothered me until I noticed your light
How can I deserve you when I easily fall apart
How can you still love the broken side of me
When all I ever did was make your heart bleed

Falling closer I noticed my faults
And how perfect you made me feel
Thought I lost it all before
But something shines still
In me

Falling ever closer I noticed your light
And how broken I really (really) am
Thought I wouldn't mind it all
But seems I did fall too hard
Too far

Weren't you the dream I had once long ago
When all I really owned was darkness in my head
My empty heart forgot the cold
Couldn't forget the hope of love

And now it shattered walls I kept 'round myself
And the pain I am feeling could never be sweeter
Still now I'm too far gone
You're with me but I'm alone

Falling closer I noticed my faults
And how perfect you made me feel
Thought I lost it all before
But something shines still
In me

Falling ever closer I know I can't be fixed
Your warmth cannot breach nightmares of old
Thought I could bask in your love
But seems I'm just no good at all
No more

How can you love me when I can't love myself
How can you save me when I can't see the point
How can you love what became of me
When I'm gone , when I'm gone, when I'm gone
